Hey guys,
Im Currently about to start recording for my band and i have a miixer, Mics, cables and all the other gear.
My question was that I have 7 mics (Bass, Snare, 3x Tom mics and 2x pencil condenser mics) but my mixer only has 6 XLR mic inputs. My kit is a 5 Piece (can make it 4 Piece if needed) with snare, bass, 3x toms, hats, 2x crashes, ride and china.
Would it be best to sacrifice a tom and have each drum mic'd and have 2 overheads or keep a 5 piece but sacrifice a mic?
If the second option what would the best mic set up be?
Thanks guys peace out
